Managed Detection and Response
Keep custody of your own incidents.
MDR providers offer managed detection and response, but they can limit visibility, control, and response speed. Blumira gives lean teams the outcome MDR promises (detection, guided response, and expert support) while you keep ownership of the platform, the data, and the decision.
The Outsourced Path, Honestly
MDR can help. The cost is where your incident lives.
Fully managed providers do real work. The tradeoff is an escalation chain between your environment and your decision.
Alert created
Activity is detected, but the context may stay inside the provider workflow.
Provider triage
The MDR team reviews the event and decides what should be escalated.
Customer notified
Your team gets a ticket or call after provider review.
Action requested
Critical response work still depends on your team, but later in the process.
What Stays Yours
The custody console.
Every row below is something an outsourced model mediates and Blumira leaves in your hands.
Visibility
Monitor activity across logs, endpoints, cloud applications, and identity systems.
Detection surface
Built-in endpoint detection and response and identity threat detection connect the signals attackers use.
The response moment
Investigate and take action directly from a finding with guided response workflows. No handoffs, no delays.
Expert help on your terms
Get expert guidance when you need it without relying on an external SOC to act.
Your data and platform
Keep ownership of the platform and data while Blumira support helps when it matters.
Your budget
Transparent pricing with unlimited data ingestion and no hidden service costs.
Honest Fit
Sometimes fully outsourced is the right call.
If your organization cannot staff any security ownership (no one to read a prioritized finding or run a guided next step) a fully managed SOC may fit better. Blumira is built for teams that can own the decision when the evidence and guidance arrive ready.
Choose fully outsourced when
- No one can own even guided response
- You want an external team making the calls
- Custody of incidents is not a concern
Choose Blumira when
- You want the outcome and the ownership
- Your team can act on a prioritized finding
- Visibility, data, and decisions should stay yours
See The Difference
Watch an incident stay in your hands.
A guided demo runs a real scenario both ways: where the escalation chain would sit in an outsourced model, and what your team sees and does when the finding arrives with the evidence attached.
